4 These will be seeds for future industrial leadership and for tackling society's grand challenges in new ways. In this work Programme FET continues its three lines of activity: 1. FET Open1: the call text for FET Open in this work Programme has been simplified for a clearer scope. FET Open is part of the European Innovation Council pilot. FET Open also calls for coordination and support for communication, innovation and Horizon scanning. The FET Innovation Launchpad, which was started in the previous work Programme , has been refined to take into account experience from the first call. 2. FET Proactive: this work Programme features a selection of ambitious emerging technology topics derived from an extensive consultation and advice from the FET Advisory Group. Topics include: living technologies, socially interactive technologies, technologies related to time, artificial organs, micro-energy technologies, and topological matter.

5 Community building and innovation ecosystem development are key elements in FET proactive. Specific actions are foreseen on neuromorphic computing and on future electrical storage. The FET Proactive initiative in High-Performance Computing (HPC) is designed in synergy with the LEIT-ICT and e-Research Infrastructures work programmes. It covers the co-design of the exascale machines integrating the European microprocessor part and addresses the development of scientific and engineering applications that will run on extreme scale HPC machines. International cooperation with Brazil and Mexico is also foreseen. Note that most of the topics under this call have been removed from this work Programme in view of the transfer of High Performance Computing activities in 2019 and 2020 to the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. 3. FET Flagships: this work Programme supports the continuation of the Graphene and HBP flagships, with a clear shift to innovation and impact.

6 It also features the ramp-up of a new flagship on Quantum Technologies, and preparatory actions for new Flagships. This FET work Programme implements several overall recommendations expressed in the Horizon 2020 interim evaluation as well as of its FET thematic assessment2. The oversubscription and underfunding in FET Open is addressed by increased budget, clearer and enforced scoping, and advice on resubmission. The opportunities for exploiting FET results are enhanced through the FET Innovation Launchpad and the participation of FET Open in the European Innovation Council pilot. The coherence with other parts of Horizon 2020 is 1 Note that 40% of the Horizon 2020 budget for FET is earmarked for FET Open. 2 Horizon 2020 - work Programme 2018 -2020 future and Emerging Technologies Part 2 - Page 5 of 47 strengthened, for example with the implementation of the HPC and Quantum strategies.

7 Following the recommendations from the FET Flagship interim evaluation report, future FET Flagships (in particular the one on Quantum Technologies) allow for more flexibility and responsiveness through an open approach, and enhance internal coherence by greater emphasis on cooperation and sharing between the projects and with related national/regional programmes. Grant beneficiaries under this work Programme part will engage in research data sharing by default, as stipulated under Article of the Horizon 2020 Model Grant Agreement (including the creation of a Data Management Plan). Participants may however opt out of these arrangements, both before and after the signature of the grant agreement. More information can be found under General Annex L of the work Programme . Horizon 2020 - work Programme 2018 -2020 future and Emerging Technologies Part 2 - Page 6 of 47 Call - FET Open Novel ideas for radically new technologies3 H2020-FETOPEN- 2018 -2020 FET Open aims to establish European leadership in the early exploration of future technologies.

8 It looks for opportunities of long-term benefit for citizens, the economy and society. It aims to mobilise Europe's most creative and forward thinking researchers from all disciplines to work together and explore what may become the leading technology paradigms of the future . FET Open supports early stage science and technology research exploring new foundations for radically new future technologies by challenging current paradigms and venturing into unknown areas. A bottom-up selection process widely open to any research idea builds up a diverse portfolio of new research directions. Early detection of promising new areas, developments and trends, along with attracting new and high-potential research and innovation players, are key factors. FET Open combines high scientific ambition with concrete technological implications.

9 It aims to attract interdisciplinary consortia that do not shy away from exploring connections between remote disciplines in order to open-up new and potentially game changing technological directions that FET as a whole aims to develop into the leading technology paradigms of the future , including through FET-Proactive projects and FET-Flagship initiatives. In spite of the high initial risk, the long-term impact can be enormous: these new technologies can become the core for new high-growth companies, for new industries or for radically new ways of tackling societal challenges. The FET-Open call is a part of the European Innovation Council (EIC) pilot. It provides the EIC with a bold exploratory engine that shatters the frontiers of current thinking. All FET-Open projects, even if far from today's markets, are full of great ideas to inspire the entrepreneurial minds that the EIC attracts.

10 While keeping its own identity of excellence in science and technology research, the exposure of FET Open within the EIC allows new and sometimes unexpected opportunities to be detected and picked up early on. For those cases, the FET Innovation Launchpad is designed to assist in the first steps to accelerate the real-world impact of a result from FET research a win-win for both research and innovation. Other parts of the EIC provide further tools for achieving high impact on society and/or the economy. Furthermore, by being part of the EIC pilot, FET-Open participants have access to the assistance, networking and financing possibilities offered by the EIC thus further increasing the leverage and increased impact from the initial high-risk investment in FET projects. Proposals are invited against the following topic(s): 3 This call is part of the European Innovation Council pilot.
